On the Main Deck, there are four premium double cabins with twin beds. Here, too, the twin beds in two of the cabins can be converted into a king-size bed. On the Upper Deck, you’ll find two suites. Both suites feature a king-size bed, panoramic views, a private Jacuzzi, and a private terrace. In all 12 spacious double cabins, you can enjoy spectacular views of the Red Sea through large windows. Each cabin features air conditioning, a TV, a minibar, and a private bathroom equipped with towels, bathrobes, and a hair dryer.

Dining

Meals are served buffet-style and combine international and Arabic specialties—so there’s something for every taste. If you have any special requests, such as vegetarian or vegan meals, or allergies, please let us know at the time of booking so our kitchen team can be prepared. Snacks and fresh fruit are always available between main meals.

Enjoy your meals either in our stylish indoor dining area or on the outdoor terrace with spectacular views of the Red Sea. We also feature a bar on the upper deck—perfect for cozy evenings under the stars.

Lounge and Entertainment

Enjoy relaxing moments in our modern, spacious lounge on the main deck. Whether for meetings, a relaxing break with a drink, or watching a movie on one of the two 65-inch flat-screen TVs—the setting is designed entirely with your well-being in mind. A high-quality sound system provides an atmospheric listening experience throughout your stay.

Sun Deck

The sun deck offers plenty of opportunities for sunbathing and relaxation. There’s a cozy seating area as well as numerous sun loungers. After an eventful day of diving, all guests are invited to unwind and relax in the communal hot tub or enjoy a drink at the bar.

Diving

The spacious dive platform is located on the main deck. There are plenty of compartments under the benches for storing diving equipment, and hooks above them for hanging wetsuits. For each guest, we have a designated section on the shelf (adjacent to the salon) with its own power outlet for charging cell phones, cameras, etc. There are two sinks, two showers, and two restrooms on the dive deck (specifically on the small platform at the entry and exit points).

All diving and snorkeling activities are supervised and led by qualified dive instructors (CMAS- or PADI-certified) from the SeaMad team. In accordance with Egyptian law, the dive profile is limited to a depth of 30 meters and must remain within safety limits (no decompression stops). Under certain conditions, however, dives may be extended to 40 meters. A Deep Dive certification is required for this.  SeaMad reserves the right to require mandatory supervision for all divers whose technical skills, in the assessment of the dive instructors on board, do not meet safety requirements. Furthermore, certain dives may be prohibited if they are deemed too difficult for a diver’s skill level. Customers acknowledge that they are obligated to dive within the limits of their training and experience and to follow the supervisor’s instructions. SeaMad is not liable for accidents that may occur during diving. We strongly recommend purchasing personal insurance that covers diving activities, such as DAN (Divers Alert Network). For your safety at SeaMad/AVO, we provide our guests with an ENOS safety system featuring 12 transformers for our 24 guests on board.
